Nailz Craze Stamping with OPI Skyfall

A simple manicure to end the year! I recently got a few stamping plates from Nailz Craze and I just love these little nesting dolls on plate NC03. It looks like they have sold out now on Natalie's etsy page, but hopefully they will be restocked.

I used OPI Skyfall for the base color, and actually used OPI Skyfall mixed with Wet n Wild French White Creme for the stamping color! I just put a few drops of white on a piece of card stock, then added a drop of Skyfall and mixed it together with a toothpick. It was enough to make the two accent nails on this mani and created a perfect complimentary stamping color.

Here is another image from the same plate. I love the clean lines of this image, and it is a much bigger image than other plates like Konad and Bundle monster, so the design really covered the whole nail. :D

Just keep practicing. Try to do it as quickly as you can, and also use a light hand when picking up the polish from the stamping plate. Too much pressure can actually smoosh the polish out of the image, if that makes sense. Ha ha! Good luck!
